About Bergen
Bergen, located in the beautiful Chiemgau region of Upper Bavaria, is a charming and authentic alpine village that serves as the base for the Hochfelln mountain. Unlike the sprawling mega-resorts of the modern skiing world, Hochfelln - Bergen offers a nostalgic, back-to-basics ski experience that relies entirely on natural snow. This gives the mountain a rugged, untamed character that appeals deeply to skiing purists, ski tourers, and nature lovers.

More about Bergen
The Resort
The skiing on Hochfelln is renowned for its challenging off-piste terrain and demanding natural snow pistes. The journey begins with a ride up the classic Hochfelln cable car to the summit at 1,674 meters. From here, skiers are treated to sweeping panoramic views that stretch across the Central Alps to the south and out over the flatlands to Lake Chiemsee to the north, before tackling the steep descents back towards the Bründlingalm mid-station.
Because the resort eschews extensive snowmaking in favor of a natural environment, it has become a haven for freeriders and those seeking an escape from crowded, highly manicured slopes. When the conditions align and the powder falls, Bergen transforms into a tranquil alpine sanctuary where traditional Bavarian hospitality meets classic winter adventure.
On the Mountain
Hochfelln offers a classic natural-snow skiing experience that favors advanced skiers and freeriders. With limited grooming and a lack of artificial snow, the terrain provides rugged, authentic descents and excellent off-piste opportunities following a fresh snowfall.
Chiemgau Alps, Bavaria
